ASU 2008.08 image
I'm a little bit confused. On the devel List I read that the real ASU image has a black Wallpaper. But where can I download it? I downloaded this one http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/freerunner/200808/20080807/openmoko-openmoko-qtopia-x11-image-glibc-ipk--20080807-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2 but it has the wallpaper of the FSO image and the nice qwerty button at the top left. Which image is this, SHR ? Greets Simarillion ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: ASU Keyboard yet again
Thank you,
it works fine, but how can I switch to the full keyboard which has not only
the letters? Do I need an additional package?

Hey all,
I just installed the ASU daily build from buildhost yesterday (23 Jul),
and there doesn't seem to be an on-screen keyboard.
I've been doing a lot of searching around to find out what's up with
the keyboard. I know that it was added as a 'qwerty' button, and then
removed because the devs want it to automatically appear when there's
text to enter and automatically disappear appropriately. I'd
personally prefer the manual mode, but I can understand why someone
would want this done automatically.
Problem for me is that the keyboard never automatically pops up. I
know this isn't an isolated incident, as this bug report exists:
http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1663
Of course there's a mention of using some ASU image from
downloads.openmoko.org instead of buildhost.openmoko.org, but I can't
find anything ASU-related after sometime in May on the downloads site.
I had the same issue, the problem is that buildhost isn't building ASU
packages from the ASU dev git tree (I'd guess because it's mostly aimed
at people running 2007.02). What you need to do is change your opkg
feeds to use http://downloads.openmoko.org/openmoko-repository/ASU/
which has all the new packages (including an updated version of qpe with
keyboard support enabled). You can download the correct config files from:
http://www.mikeasoft.com/~mike/opkg-asu.tar.gz
Just move /etc/opkg to /etc/opkg-backup then unpack that to /etc,
then: opkg update opkg upgrade /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm restart
The keyboard should now pop up automatically when text areas request it.
I tried editing the
file /usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes/illume.edj and setting
'visible: 1' under the 'part { name: kbdtext' section, but that
caused the whole UI to be useless (looks like this file is some sort of
compiled binary, I couldn't find any information on it.)
So, in short: what is up with the keyboard?
You can grab an illume theme with the qwerty button restored from:
http://www.mikeasoft.com/~mike/illume.edj
Just drop that in to /usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes/ (note that
you'll need to overwrite it again each time illume-theme is updated
though).
Cheers,
Mike.

warranty issues
Hello, can somebody tell me if I will lose my warranty when I open my Freerunner. I don't know if I am allowed to remove the seal which is on one of the two torx screws. I don't want to solder just check the connection plug of the GPS antenna. Does it depend on the distributor or the country? I'm located in germany.

German getting started
Hi, we (until now 4 people) started at docs.google.com (where multiple people can edit the same document) a german (until now quick dirty) getting started document. This document is not meant to be a copy of http://quickstart.openmoko.org/ and does not want to compete with the official Wiki. Far from it! It can be used to make remarks and notes while playing around with the freerunner without to care about the sentence structure and 100% accuracy. From time to time the content should get higher quality and be transeferred to the wiki (in german and english), this can be done by anybody (even without FR for example while waiting for it ;-) ), because the document is public on http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dnjszzj_0dzkbrncr and will be updated automatically. If someone wants to edit the document and help us just write me a short mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I'll invite you. I think this Dokument helps to speed up the wiki (new pages as well as untranslated to german) and will become a good and printable getting started for new FR owners who perhaps can't speak english.

Flashing Neo Freerunner for Dummies
Hi together, I'm a little bit confused. I just received my Freerunner one hour ago. Now I want to try the several images. In the wiki (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Getting_Started_with_your_Neo_FreeRunner) is written: Before you execute the command , please log in Neo FreeRunner in NOR Flash . But in the instruction manual they say NOR is only for emergency and can not be written by dfu-util. Is this a mistake in the wiki?

Is this a mistake in the wiki? still got my om, but anyway ... i think what it means is the following: while booting into NAND you are accessing the area which is to be flashed -- thus flashing while in NAND will remove the ground under your feet. when in NOR every area possibly to be flashed is guaranteed to be free of any other access than the flash utility. sink of it like sawing off a branch while sitting on a tree -- where would you like to sit? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Europe Distribution
I think the question was, if trisoft customers will get their phone later than pulster customers, because trisoft is not an OFFICIAL PARTNER ? In this case I don't think preorders are unserious, because the vendors can make a better calculation and for me as customer it's just more comfortable as I don't have to check my mails every day and do not miss the release.

research project topic
Hi community, I'm studying electrical engineering at Karlsruhe University in Germany and I nearly finished. Now I have to do a student research project and because I'm a big fan of the openmoko/freerunner project I want to combine this. I've got an offer from an Institude to do something like that. I must give them a topic that must contain research and the GPS. Now is the question, what research with the freerunner and it's GPS device can I do that would help the openmoko community and seems to be something that institute would support. It should not be only writing a gui or something like that. I have got to improve, develop, add or optimize something. This project should last between 3 and 6 months. I'am also trying hard to be allowed to give my research solution back to the community, as kind of code or information. I'm looking forward to free my phone and support the project All the best, Michael ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
